What Causes Sudden Pain And Weakness On The Left Side Of Body?
Hi, I am 26 years old female.I happened to fall down after feeling a weakness in the left side of my body(mainly hands and legs) when i suddenly woke and stood out of bed.I could stand up a two seconds after by my self.After that i could feel blood starting to flow thought veins.(Thought it might be due to incorrect poster while sleeping,that blood circulation to hands and legs stopped).I was consistently having a radiation kind of pain in my right shoulder back side due to incorrect poster(i am researcher and have to sit a long time reading and attending classes) from past 8 years.This pain goes off when i give rest to my body.Now i want to know whether this(falling off suddenly) is a symptom of stroke?Kindly reply soon as possible

well symptoms of transient ischemick attack are very similar: loss of consciousness, weakness of paralysis of a half body, and less of 24 hour for recovery many times a few hours, but your case of seconds are very strange, generally that cases are by a cardiac cause, anyway that are extreme causes so could be more optios to discard.
